What are you going to use it in? Depending on the application, you might be able to use melted choc. frosting.

You can melt the chocolate icing in the microwave, and pour it over that cake.

No.. it will look worse with the cream. You need to get some chocolate. icon_smile.gif

No problem. icon_smile.gif

You can even use semi-sweet chocolate chips if you have them on hand. 8 ounces (by weight) of chocolate to 1 cup of a cream is a good ratio. If you need more you can double it. It's good on ice cream so if you have extra it's never a bad thing. icon_wink.gif Make sure you use no more than a semi-sweet chocolate.. milk chocolate won't work unless you cut out some of the cream and even then it's really sweet. Good luck! icon_smile.gif

Start with a 1 to 1 ratio of choc, and H cream. Bring the cream to a simmer, and pour over your chunked up choc to melt the choc. To make shiny put in a tad of corn syrup.
